Fantasy Tip: Hechavarria is a fringe starting option in cavernous mixed and NL-only leagues because of his consistent playing time, but his 33 runs, three home runs, 27 RBI and .244/.282/.343 slash line don't suffice in the majority of fantasy formats. Rojas owns a career .584 OPS and isn't a viable fantasy option.

Fantasy Tip: It was an impressive outing for Nola, who lowered his ERA to 4.41 with the efficient 68-pitch effort. Nola might have some bruising after the line drive, so we'll keep an eye on his health for his next scheduled start over the weekend.

Fantasy Tip: Rojas and Mathis are both very light hitters and are desperation picks as deep sleepers in DFS. Hechavarria is hot lately with 10 hits in his last 26 at-bats (.385) with three RBI since June 28. He sees a boost in his daily value while hitting leadoff, but he's unlikely to fill the stat sheet as a midrange shortstop option.

Fantasy Tip: Hechavarria is a low-end option in deep mixed and NL-only seasonal leagues, but he does have a .291/.342/.433 slash line against left-handed hurlers since the beginning of last season. View him as a low-priced flier in daily contests Thursday.

Fantasy Tip: Hechavarria is hitting .242 this month in what has been a "meh" season for him. He has a good matchup against John Gant, and he's a low-end option today, though. Mathis doesn't have a potent enough bat for much consideration in DFS.

Fantasy Tip: Johnson is batting .269 this month and is 3-for-10 over the past week but should only be viewed as a desperation source of cap relief in DFS. Mathis and Rojas have both struggled at the plate recently and are not worthy of lineup consideration in any fantasy format.

Fantasy Tip: Hechavarria has recorded six hits and five RBI over his last six games and should see at least one extra at-bat Tuesday since he is hitting at the top of the lineup. He should have some value in daily fantasy leagues but is not a great option.

Fantasy Tip: Hechavarria wasn't much of a power threat for starters, and he only has 21 RBIs after getting 48 last year. There are better options to play at shortstop, as Hechavarria's fantasy value is minimal at best.

Fantasy Tip: Johnson has four hits and two RBI in eight games this month and is hitting .236 this season. Owners likely will be able to find better options to use in their lineups. Rojas has been on a bit of a cold streak lately and has only four hits in his last 12 games. Rojas probably can be avoided in most leagues.
